  2. 16. Semiparametric survival models for routine register data

    Author : Frank Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Survival; transformation; clustered; likelihood; random effects; case-cohort; routine register; semiparametric; clustered;

    Abstract : Routine registers offer researchers opportunities to carry out studies of covariate effects on lifetimes of rare diseases otherwise infeasible because of the large cohorts required. Familial relationships necessary for analysis of environmental or genetic factors can be identified by record linking. READ MORE

  4. 17. On Bit-Wise Decoders for Coded Modulation

    Author : Mikhail Ivanov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bit-error probability; L-values; labeling; Gray code; coded modulation; log-likelihood ratio; maximum likelihood decoder; Additive white Gaussian noise; quadrature amplitude modulation.; interleaver; flat fading channel; pairwise error probability;

    Abstract : Coded modulation is a technique that emerged as a response to the growing demand for high data rates. It was devised to achieve high spectral efficiency with high reliability, potentially approaching Shannon’s capacity. The main idea of coded modulation consists in combining error-correcting coding with higher-order modulation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Methods for interval-censored data and testing for stochastic dominance

    Author : Angel G. Angelov; Magnus Ekström; Maria Karlsson; Bengt Kriström; Per Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interval-censored data; Informative censoring; Self-selected intervals; Questionnaire-based studies; Maximum likelihood; Permutation test; Two-sample test; Stochastic dominance; Four-decision test; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis includes four papers: the first three of them are concerned with methods for interval-censored data, while the forth paper is devoted to testing for stochastic dominance.In many studies, the variable of interest is observed to lie within an interval instead of being observed exactly, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 19. Extensions and Applications of Affine Shape

    Author : Rikard Berthilsson; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems engineering; Matematik; Mathematics; density of shape; maximum likelihood; matching constraint; surface; curve; handwriting; recognition; affine shape; reconstruction; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : A central problem in computer vision is to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of a scene from a set of two-dimensional images. Traditionally this is done by extracting a set of characteristic points in the scene and to compute a reconstruction of these points. READ MORE

  7. 20. Analysis of Some Methods for Identifying Dynamic Errors-in-variables Systems

    Author : Mei Hong; Torsten Söderström; Magnus Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system identification; errors-in-variables; least squares; instrumental variable; maximum likelihood; bias compensated least squares; bias eliminating least squares; Frisch scheme; higher-order statistics; accuracy analysis; periodic data; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

    Abstract : A system where errors or noises are present on both the inputs and the outputs is called an errors-in-variables (EIV) system. EIV systems appear in industrial and agricultural processes, medical sciences, economical systems, biotechnology, as well as in many other areas. READ MORE
